ALBION - Albion was the residence of Victor Ray Buker, 71, who passed away at Mass General on Friday, June 19, 2015, with sons Fredrick and Alan right by his side. Victor was born in Benton on Aug, 18, 1943, the son of Willard and Opal (Baker) Buker.

The East Benton Church was his church of choice. His hobbies included hunting, fishing, spending time with family, friends, and his grandchildren. The people who knew him, and knew him well, also knew talking on the phone was one of favorite things as well.
He was a good husband, great dad, great brother, and a proud grandpa (Pa-Pa).
He is survived by his wife, Joyann C. Buker; his children, Leroy W. Buker, Victor G Buker, and Fredrick Ethen Allen Buker and his wife, Amber; and also several grandchildren. Victor is also survived by his siblings, Gerald Buker, Allan Buker, Peggy Hunnewell; his very special service dog, "Bently"; a very special friend, Alan Barnes; several nieces, nephews; cousins; and special friends, Kristin Littlefield and Mi-Mi Dodge.
A gathering on Aug. 18, 2015, for the celebration of Victor Buker's life, with comrades, friends and family, will be held at the Fairfield VFW between 12-1 p.m., followed by a private gathering at his home with family and close friends only.
